Letting others drive your Contour....

The Valvoline quick-lube place at the end of my street lets the owners drive the car into the shop and sit in it while the service is being done. Was pretty cool, though frightening to be driving over the open pit the first time.

You say that now, but get in the position and you'd do the same thing. Not noone in our shop ain't not never revved up an engine or got on it during a test drive,etc. And I didn't mean tear anything up. Just getting on it for the most part.... Though that one time we raced a customer's car against an employee's car could have resulted in some yelling at by management.:crazy: And I really realllly don't care if I lose my crappy job.

Tell us where you work so we never go there. I have been in a position of driving other people's expensive cars many times and I have enough self control not to be reckless or irresponsible. Seriously man, you have some growing up to do. You'll learn.

When i worked at the chevy dealer we'd always race the cars we were prepping, no one owned them....yet. So no problems :laugh: The SS's are ok, but the impala sucks for traction, the awd ss trailblazer launches pretty good, cobalt...meh

That's most likely so you don't see what they're doing... or rather, what they're not doing. Many Q-lubes have been caught not replacing filters and stuff (they might wipe them off though, so they *look* new).

I've never been abusive to other peoples property, car or otherwise. Typically, I'll return things in better shape than when I borrowed them. It's the way I was raised, so I recon we can chalk it up to up-bringin'.

My wife will rarely take my car, but I don't like it. I don't even like the alignment shop taking it for a post-alignment drive... I tell them not to do the pre-alignment drive though.

What I hate is when I'm working on my car and seeing something that's not right or broken... and wondering if it happened while someone else was driving it.
